Windows has a stack too. Most recently used on top. Older windows are either partially or completely covered, but they always have an icon accessible. Would I dedicate a section of my screen to windows down the stack? No, I don't think I would. I guess I just don't get the zen of dwm.
- yiyus 6y agoI have tried both workflows. I used a (very) customized dwm for years, and use windows nowadays. Windows works, but dwm is really dynamic. Screenshots don't do it justice. With windows, once I have a large number of windows, working in several things at the same time, I'm really afraid of losing that setup (for example, leaving my laptop unattended for a while and see that the system had the great idea of rebooting while I was gone). With dwm, I had the layout I wanted with much less effort. It adapts to what I'm doing. It's very fluid. None is perfect, both have pros and cons. And I understand some people don't like some of the design decisions in dwm like editing source to configure and so on, but dynamic window management is a powerful concept.
